Another gem from Marc which I'd completely forgotten about and left on my to-do list. Fabulous and challenging piece in equal measures.

Initial quiet section was tough and in the end I opted for a basic jazz pattern, punctuating Marc's key stabs. From there into a simplified version of a well-known pattern - Jeff Porcaro's 'Roseanna beat', of course. Back to the quiet section and then into one of my favourite beats of all-time: a Nanigo. It's a posh word for 'double paradiddle between the ride, hi-hat and snare'. It just sat right. Then into a straight time with a pushing hi-hat. Drop down. Back up again and then hit the outro.

Remarkably I did this in one clean run but missed the last two damn stabs of the song so they've been edited, as have a couple of places to tidy up messy bits. I hope you enjoy. One of my favourite templates from you, Marc :)

MarceysMan! Love your playing here! Real good! Great changes and just the right feel! :) +1April 23 2015 04:20:38mpointonThank you, Marc. I love templates of yours like this. You leave so much room for people who add to help decide where to take the feel of the your music. Your intro - just simple pushed chords leaves so much space for the imagination. Yes, it maybe challenging but I love how you leave those who follow some level of control.

Then you funk out. I love it when you funk out! Please do not ever stop posting templates of this calibre. +0

WadeThis is a great drum track that really move this along. sooooo good. +1April 23 2015 04:39:22mpointonThank you so much, Wade. The drum patterns wrote themselves for me. It's one of those templates that I could hear straight away what I needed to play. Apart from the opening bit - had to think about that! :) +1

Marceysthumbs thumbs! very good Martin! This would be so much better to play when I was in the same room as you! I always play this with only a clicktrack.... have to try and keep all the accents the same... always a hard job....You did very good! A grooving bass to this!!! :)

My break/accents at the end aren't that good... sorry for that.... +2April 22 2015 16:12:55mpointonPerhaps we can manage it in September at the 'Loops meet! Don't worry about perfect timings - humanity is much better than machines and your templates are always fluid. Much better that way! +2April 22 2015 16:15:33MarceysGonna try to arrange something for that! would be cool indeed!:) +1April 22 2015 22:47:33WadeMaking me sad and jealous. Won't be able to make it to Urft in September. Would really enjoy sitting in with such great talent.. +1April 22 2015 22:52:37MarceysThats too bad Wade! I'm also not sure if I can make it but will try for sure! +1April 22 2015 23:07:22mpointonIt's a bit far for you, Wade :( As I mentioned to others, if you ever need some drums for your own purposes, just ask :D +1April 22 2015 23:39:14WadeThanks! Will certainly keep in mind the offer. I come to Europe to visit my daughter in Norway. 1st Urft meet up was scheduled to coincide last year. Am coming to Europe again 1 May, but the facility at Urft isn't available until September. Won't be able to come then. There will be other times. Cheers! +1

bigmac9137Yeah buddy! That's great sound! I may need to re-record! +2April 22 2015 15:49:07mpointonThank you bigmac. Please do! I know it had adds, but this was such a great template I couldn't leave it alone. +0April 22 2015 16:07:17MarceysThat would be cool Kyle! please upload your track as a HD file...... good for a remix! +0
